Busy summer for HCC volunteers
Submitted by Leigh-Anne Mauk on Wed, 07/25/2012 - 9:02am
To some, HCC may seem quiet during the summer months, however, this is not the case for HCC volunteers who remain busy as ever on the HCC campus.
College for Kids (CFK) students and instructors receive a big hand from more than 30 high school students and adults who help with instruction, assist with recess, go on field trips, join students for lunch, and help transport children to their classes. HCC volunteer Laura Schilling (right) traveled from her home in Germany to volunteer with CFK. Some of the volunteers aspire to be teachers, while others enjoy simply working with children. It all makes for a summer of fun and learning.
In addition to CFK, each week about a dozen volunteers continue to donate their time to various offices on the HCC campus. Preparing GED and English as a Second Language (ESL) orientation sessions keeps volunteer Keith Deau busy on Fridays, while volunteer Fran Nicholls can be found working in the Valley Eatery office on Thursdays. Nicholls helps Sandy Harrison, HCC's manager of food services, with office work and also researches products that can be used in the eatery. Bob Bastian, HCC's most senior volunteer, faithfully reports to the athletic director's office each Wednesday to lend a hand at the reception desk and clip HCC athletic articles from local newspapers. Volunteers also help run the Alumni Association concession stand in the summer as dozens of bands come to perform as part of the Red, White and Blue Summer Concert Series.
This summer, the HCC Volunteers Corps was pleased to welcome a new volunteer who offered two weeks of his time to the HCC campus while young members of his family attended College for Kids. Mike Gerhold spread himself around campus like the proverbial angel of kindness. During his two weeks at the college, Gerhold helped in the HCC Bookstore where he unpacked dozens of boxes of books for the fall 2012 semester. He also filled in as a volunteer "patient" in the radiography positioning labs and spent an entire day helping with the relocation of theater costumes from the Alumni Amphitheater to their new home in the Kepler Center, and even helped out in the HCC Fitness Center. Gerhold ended his two weeks at HCC by helping to construct sets for upcoming Robinwood Players performances in the Kepler Center.
Volunteer opportunities are forever expanding at HCC. Opportunities include:
- Helping with theater costumes (cutting, sewing, pressing, sorting)
- Serving as an usher for theater performances (Robinwood Players and Kinder Konzerts)
- Tutoring students
- Volunteering as "patients" in HCC's ever expanding offerings of medical programs
- Providing office help in various areas on campus
- Helping maintain the many beautiful gardens at HCC
To learn more about how you can become an HCC volunteer, contact Irene Young at 240-500-2217 or email email@example.com.

I'm trying something new this weekend at the art show I'm at. I had seven of my images printed 30x40 with a 9600 on canvas and then gallery wrapped so they can hang using stretchers and wouldn't reaquire expensive framing. I had a two inch black border printed on the canvas so it wraps around the sides.
I was thinking about that, let me know how it goes
You responded to a post that was 15 months old. I've moved onto a different body of work since then.
I didn't realize that, Larry. So how did it go, or did you just give up on that?
I cut the number of shows I do down to about five or six a year. I sold a few 30x40 canvases, but don't do enough shows to give them proper exposure to the public. Lots of photographers are now doing that at art shows and end up competing with painters because the canvas gives the photograph a painterly look.
Larry I thought about making one just to see how it looks but since I do BW I do not know how well that would work. Great idea. Monte.
Larry, I'm kind of intrigued by the idea, too. When you say it put you in competition with painters, did you mean that it was a positive or negative experience?
Take it any way you want. 30v40 photographs with a painterly look sell for a lot less than 30x40 original paintings.

Carlsen to appear in 60 Minutes
On Sunday Magnus Carlsen will appear in the CBS news magazine program 60 Minutes. We received a press release from CBS which includes a preview video.
It may seem a polite game of quiet wit, but chess grandmasters are really out for blood. The number-one chess player in the world, Norway's Magnus Carlsen, tells Bob Simon that he especially enjoys making his opponent suffer in a game that is downright war. Simon profiles the 21-yr-old chess prodigy on 60 MINUTES, Sunday, Feb. 19 (7:00-8:00 PM) on the CBS Television Network.
What could be more satisfying than playing chess brilliantly? For Carlsen, it doesn't get much better. The results of brilliant play on an opponent can provide even more fun, however. "I enjoy it when I see my opponent…really suffering. When he knows I have outsmarted him," Carlsen says with a wicked grin.
That's what often happens to the opponents of the game's number-one player. They get outsmarted and they get taken down. But Carlsen occasionally loses a game himself. "If I lose just one game…I just really want to get revenge," he tells Simon.
Carlsen is the superstar of the game, a status he demonstrates for 60 MINUTES cameras by playing 10 expert players at once, without ever looking at the boards. It's a status he has been working on since he was a child. When he was 13 years old, he drew with Garry Kasparov, the Russian many consider the best player ever. Kasparov wasn't happy. It could have been different says Carlsen, if he hadn't been intimidated during the game of speed chess. "When I actually got to a winning position, I had little time, I was nervous and I couldn't finish him off," says Carlsen, whose prize for this feat was an ice cream at McDonald's.
Nowadays, as the world's top player, Carlsen gets more than ice cream for his efforts. Though the prize money in chess is not enormous, add to that the money he makes for endorsements and modeling, and he's making about $1.5 million a year.
As a warm-up for Sunday's story about this grandmaster, 60 MINUTES' webcast, 60MinutesOvertime, will feature Mike Wallace's 1972 report on Bobby Fischer, America's greatest chess grandmaster, who died in 2008. 60MinutesOvertime features originally-produced content and archival material about the subjects and characters in 60 MINUTES stories and the reporters who work on them.
The segment with Carlsen, which includes some footage shot by our friend Macauley Peterson, will be available to be streamed online after 12 am ET / 5 am GMT / 6 am CET, Monday, Feb 20. The links will be http://www.60minutes.com (where the segment will be accompanied by a print version of the story, extra web clips, and a feature from our web show 60 Minutes Overtime) and http://www.youtube.com/user/
CBS also made available a clip from April 1972, when Mike Wallace profiled 29-year-old Bobby Fischer, who was training for his match against Boris Spassky.

Really going to enjoy that 60 minutes interview with Carlsen. Also, that is the first time i've seen that footage of Fischer and i"ve looked all around the internet for original footage of him, so that was quite pleasant as well. Thanks alot.
So sad that Carlsen tries to imitate Fischer. But let me tell you sth, young man:
I played with Bobby Fischer, I knew Bobby Fischer. Bobby Fischer was a friend of mine. Young lad, you're no Bobby Fischer.
Uhm, I'm not a Carlsen-fan, but how is he trying to imitate Bobby Fischer? Do you have any statement by him or any clue in the article supporting your claim?
All I see is that the company broadcasting the Interview decided to show a documentary about Fischer as "warm-up". One can dislike Carlsen (who to me always came over like a nice guy) and yes, he's good at marketing, but those silly comparisions (as in "he's the new genius and will dominate chess just like Fischer did!") are not his fault.
Bobby Fischer was no Carlsen (have you played with him, do you know him, are you a friend?) either by the way. That's because they are different people...
You came to this conclusion that Carlsen tries to imitate Bobby Fischer just because they both like to defeat their opponents ego at the board? That doesn't have to take imitation! Carlsen is the best of the best in this day, you can't be on top by imitating others.

I'm just guessing here but maybe he is not only referring to that but also to chickening out of world championship cycles and/or (using) the myth of being from a backward chess country.
By the way: why do Fischer and Carlsen fans always perceive and share their heros as nice guys while both Carlsen and Fischer 1)said they like to see people suffer and 2) distract or even try to cheat on their opponents? (same as Kasparov btw).
Didn't I write I'm not his fan? And also he's not my hero. But you know, not loving Carlsen doesn't mean hating him (besides it just being chess, feelings as strong as "love" or "hate" would be a bit silly here).
To me, "seeing them suffer" refers to the chessboard only and sounds rather tongue-in-cheek; and after all, there is a fight of "domination" on a chessboard.
And based on the interviews I saw he seems like a nice person, yes. Not that either of us know him in person anyway. If you're impression is different that's fine, but please do not pretend I'm blind or a "fan" because I feel that way. People having different opinions or judging things (e.g. the "cheating") differently than you doesn't automatically makes them wrong, it just makes them...not you. ;)
Anyway...have a good day. And: Good to see some chess in the medias.
P.S.: In case you wonder: I follow Ivanchuckianism. ;)

My mistake, apologies. But the point is still valid, I don't understand why many people seem to ignore misbehavior (Fischer, Kasparov, Carlsen) and state the opposite just because of them being great players.
2 years 1 month ago
No offense taken.
I understand your point and sometimes feel the same about other players, I just seem to judge Carlsen's behaviour differently than you. And also I'm simply not that unsettled by those things in chess (except when it's racism, sexism or such).
Let's wait for the Interview. :)

I don't know how Carlsen is supposed to be using the same myth as Fischer did of being from a backward chess country, but USA won four Chess Olympiads the decade before Fischer was born, and Chessmetrics has both Fine and Reshevsky in the top three the first years of the 1940s. In 1974 USA didn't need Fischer to win a medal in the Olympiad. It was and is a country with a great chess tradition (Morphy, Pillsbury, Marshall, Reshevsky, Fine, etc).
Norway has never been a strong chess country. The first time they participated they finished last and the starts after that they were second to last. The first Olympiad in Carlsen's lifetime they finished 37th (while USA took the silver), and the last time they were outside the top 50 with Carlsen in the team. So it's hard to compare USA and Norway as chess countries.

I did not play with Bobby Fischer, I did not know Bobby Fischer. Bobby Fischer was a not friend of mine. Old lad, you're no coinnasseur of either Carlsen or Fischer.
2 years 2 months ago
Dude, Bobby Fischer had no friends. Sad, but that's why he died alone...
2 years 2 months ago
Ha, ha, ha, ha. They didn´t get the joke! He´s repeating this quote : ""Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy: I knew Jack Kennedy; Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." It was spoken by Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Senator Dan Quayle during the 1988 vice-presidential debate.
Thank God, finally somebody who got the joke!!! For a moment I thought that chess players are one-dimensional type of persons with no knowledge of politics or history, interested only in chess and nothing else. Hopefully, not only nerdy types are chess fans.
Not everyone lives in the USA. As if it was so obvious that everyone was supposed to get the reference. Your "joke" wasn't much of a joke.
2 years 2 months ago
The comparison is only apt in this sense ... while other top players might be thinking rude things about crushing their opponents or liking to see them suffer, Fischer and Carlsen both displayed the requisite immaturity to actually make those sentiments public. Fischer had much less excuse since he was still expressing such sentiments at a much later age whereas Carlsen seems to have improved.
I think Anand is a better judge of it than you are.
I asked Anand directly about it, and he feels that he still "got game" (my words, not his) and he has no plans of retiring in the near future.
Maybe if someone is able to beat him in a World Championship match, your suggestion may be a little more reasonable.
Fischer and Carlsen were/are both sadistic over the chessboard. Too funny. It's not a universal trait. In fact, I think most of the top players don't have this quality.
2 years 2 months ago
I just saw the Carlsen interview on 60 minutes. Excellent, for someone not schooled in dealing with the press. He came across as very likeable and pleasant. An excellent representative for chess, if our sport ever wants to move beyond the fanatics, obessives and shut-ins.
I am waiting for the CBS 60 minutes to appear - for people like me, keep checking on cbs.com/60minutes for it to be posted.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies arrested a total of 11 people after discovering a panga boat containing 3,000 pounds of marijuana off the Gaviota coast early Wednesday.
The U.S. Coast Guard had been tracking the panga boat between San Nicholas Island and the Santa Barbara coastline and alerted Santa Barbara County law enforcement just after midnight.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office personnel, including three K9 units, along with officers from the California Highway Patrol, UC Santa Barbara Police Department, and State Parks responded to the area of Hollister Ranch Road and searched the coastline under the lights of a Coast Guard helicopter.
At about 2 a.m., eight people were arrested. Of those arrested, five gave Southern California addresses and three said they were from Mexico.
Then, shortly before 8 a.m., a sheriff's helicopter conducting a search spotted three additional suspects. Deputies took the second group into custody and took the suspects to a holding facility where they were released to Homeland Security Investigators.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Federal authorities say nearly two dozen illegal immigrants arrested this week paid smugglers up to $9,000 each for a seagoing trip on a panga boat to the United States.
Authorities intercepted the 27-foot, single-engine panga on Monday morning and arrested 25 people on a Los Angeles County beach near Rancho Palos Verdes. Panga fishing boats are often used by smugglers.
Four men are facing smuggling and conspiracy charges.
The Daily Breeze in Torrance says passengers told investigators they met smugglers in Tijuana and paid $3,000 to $9,000 for rides to the United States.
The passengers, most from Mexico, said the trip was tense because the smugglers argued over engine noise and twice threatened to throw one of the passengers overboard because he was overweight.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department officials say they located a panga boat early Wednesday morning.
Officials tell us the boat was spotted west of Gaviota State Beach near Hollister Ranch.
The U.S. Coast Guard, California State Parks, U.S. Border Patrol, and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department are all on scene looking for suspects.
Some suspects are in custody.
Panga boats are typically used to smuggle drugs into the United States.
We'll bring you the latest information on this panga boat incident as soon as it becomes available to KSBY News.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities have intercepted a suspected smuggling boat and arrested 25 people on a Los Angeles County beach.
U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Jerry Conlan says the panga boat was spotted just before dawn Monday and it came ashore at a Portuguese Bend beach near Rancho Palos Verdes.
Pangas are open hull fishing boats often used for smuggling drugs or people from Mexico.
The suspected illegal immigrants tried to hide but 25 were captured by 8:30 a.m. It's unclear if any of those arrested are smugglers.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies are among several law enforcement agencies searching the area.
Earlier this month, a U.S. Coast Guard chief petty officer was killed when his small boat was rammed by a panga off Santa Cruz Island.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Coast Guard Base Los Angeles-Long Beach will hold a memorial for the executive petty officer of the cutter Halibut who died from injuries caused by a boat collision while investigating suspected smuggling activity in the Channel Islands.
The ceremony remembering Senior Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne will be held Saturday afternoon at Reservation Point on Terminal Island.
The memorial will not be open to the public.
Horne was aboard a small boat deployed from the cutter to intercept a panga boat running without lights near Santa Cruz Island early Sunday.
Authorities say the panga rammed the Coast Guard boat, throwing Horne and another crewman into the ocean. A propeller struck Horne in the head. The panga was eventually stopped and two Mexican nationals were arrested and charged with killing Horne.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - A criminal complaint says the Coast Guard fired several gunshots from an inflatable boat before it was slammed by another vessel, killing an officer.
The criminal complaint filed against two Mexican nationals aboard the suspect vessel disclosed the gunshots and other measures taken by the crew to avoid getting hit early Sunday near the Channel Islands, about 180 miles northwest of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III died from head trauma after being struck by a propeller.
Using an inflatable boat, Horne and his team came within about 20 yards of the suspect vessel at 1:20 a.m. The Coast Guard boat flashed its blue lights and the crew ordered the suspects to stop before the other vessel gunned its engine, knocking Horne and a colleague into the water.

"He's the best shipmate I've ever known, he was a friend, he was a big brother to us all, and he's absolutely irreplaceable."
Holding back tears, Coast Guard shipmates of Terrell Horne talk about their fallen comrade.
The Coast Guard member was killed in waters off the South Coast Sunday after alleged drug smugglers crashed their panga boat into a Coast Guard apprehension vessel.
The Coast Guard says Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III, 34, died from a traumatic head injury when he was struck in the head by the propeller of the panga boat.
It happened Sunday morning near the Channel Islands on the Ventura-Santa Barbara county line.
They say the smugglers intentionally ran their boat into a small Coast Guard boat, at high speed.
Two Coast Guard members, including Horne, were thrown into the water.
This is the first run-in with smugglers this year where a law enforcement member has been killed.
"They've shown a willingness to take aggressive action against law enforcement officers, if they're willing to do that, they're also willing to do that to any civilian who might come across their activities," says Commander Jim Taylor of the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office.
With the Central Coast now becoming a key target for drug smugglers, local law enforcement and federal agencies are teaming up.
"They're going to find a way to try and come here, you can't just turn a blind eye to it and you can't allow it to happen," says Taylor.
Airplanes, choppers, boats and law enforcement on foot converge on the Central Coast drug war.
"Typically some of the things that the deputies would look for would be suspicious vehicle traffic, large vehicles, moving vans," says Taylor.
Smugglers are also known to use RVs like the one that was used as a getaway in a recent bust where more than four thousand pounds of dope was found.
The sheriff's office also says they are increasing patrolling along the Northern Coast, an area where four panga boats have been found this year already.
"We've also secured a second ICE agent who will begin working with the sheriff's office at our narcotics unit in January," says Taylor.
But will all this come with a hefty price tag for local tax payers?
According to the sheriff's office, no. Commander Taylor says they have secured a federal grant in October that will pay for the increased enforcement efforts.
"It's the additional resources that the county simply cannot afford by itself and to have the commitment from the federal government, and now I think an even more increased commitment because of the problem, it's reassuring to us that we can manage this problem effectively," says Taylor.
The sheriff's office says the federal grant was awarded in October and will provide $50,000 a year.

A U.S. Coast Guard member is dead after officials say the vessel he was on was hit by a Mexican-style panga boat, throwing him and another member into the water.
It happened just before 2:30 Sunday morning near Santa Cruz Island.
Officials say a Coast Guard maritime patrol aircraft detected the panga boat, and sent the Coast Guard Cutter Halibut out to investigate.
They say the cutter then sent its small boat out, which was operating without any type of running lights.
They say when it approached the panga boat, it turned on its blue law enforcement light and the suspects' vessel sped toward the Coast Guard's smaller boat, hitting it before taking off.
Officials say the two Coast Guard members were thrown into the water after the crash, and were immediately picked up by the Coast Guard's boat.
Officials with the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office tell KSBY 34-year-old Terrell Horne III, 34 from Redondo Beach, was killed.
Coast Guard officials say although first aid was administered on Horne III, he was pronounced dead at the pier in Port Hueneme after suffering a traumatic head injury.
They say the other member suffered minor injuries.
Other Coast Guard members stopped the panga boat shortly after the incident, and took two people into custody.
The incident is under investigation.

A third man has been arrested in connection with a panga boat that was found abandoned on the shore just north of Piedras Blancas Lighthouse on Tuesday.
A California Highway Patrol officer saw Jose Lopez Lopez, 44, on Tuesday just after 8:15 p.m. on Highway 1.
The CHP says Lopez initially gave a false name to the officer. He was arrested on suspicion of failing to provide identification as well as providing false identification.
He was arrested and booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail.
He was arrested because officers believed he was connected to the abandoned panga boat because of items he had on him.
Two men, Luis Osiel Gonzales, 23, and Juan Pedro Gonzales, 23, were arrested earlier in the day.
The search continues for two more men who were believed to have been involved with the panga boat.

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office has identified the two men taken into custody after the discovery of a panga boat off San Simeon early Tuesday as Luis Osiel Gonzalez, 23 [pictured], and Juan Pedro Gonzalez, also 23.
Luis Osiel Gonzalez is in custody on suspicion of felony obstruction/resisting a peace officer and battery on a peace officer.
Juan Pedro Gonzalez was arrested on suspicion of giving false identification to a peace officer and is currently on an immigration hold.

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's deputies discovered a panga boat early this morning in the area of Piedras Blancas Lighthouse. That area is becoming synonomous with panga boats. This is the fourth to be found there in the last few months.
When deputies arrived, they saw five men near the boat. The men ran off, and after a short scuffle, one was taken into custody. Deputies caught up with another man and are still looking for the others.
About four miles north of Piedras Blancas Lighthouse, sheriff's deputies noticed an open gate leading to a remote beach area.
"When they arrived on site, they discovered five men in the field, the five men took off, the sheriff's deputies took off after them," says Tony Cipolla, public information officer for the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office.
After a scuffle that left one deputy with minor injuries, two suspects were taken into custody.
Thats when deputies discovered the panga boat.
"No drugs were found at this time, but about thirty containers of fuel were found, we believe it may have been a supply boat that was helping out another panga boat," Cipolla said.
According to homeland security, that's not uncommon. Many times these types of boats will refuel at sea, and this may have been the vessel that brings that fuel to smugglers waiting for the right opportunity to come ashore.
Air support, K9 units and ground units were brought in from multiple agencies to search for the remaining men.
"This is becoming a real issue here on the Central Coast, the sheriff is very concerned about this because it impacts our resources at the sheriff's office and then you also have the criminal element," Cipolla said.

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a second suspect after the discovery of a panga boat off the coast of San Simeon early Tuesday.
One deputy received minor injuries after a scuffle broke out during the capture of the first suspect, the sheriff's office said.
Sheriff's deputies, Sheriff's K9 units, a CHP plane and a Coast Guard helicopter searched for three other men believed to have been on the boat.
No drugs were found, but investigators say the boat is consistent with narcotic smuggling operations. About 30 containers of fuel were found floating in the water next to the boat.

The U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Department of Homeland Security are analyzing evidence found in a panga boat they seized Wednesday near San Miguel Island, off the Santa Barbara County coast.
Two-thousand pounds of marijuana were seized. Panga boats are the newest tool for drug smugglers and they are almost impossible to stop.
They are low, open fishing boats that are popular in mexico. Drug smugglers are putting high-speed motors on them and moving drugs up the coast of California.
"They have unlimited resources, unlimited funds and it presents an ongoing challenge," says David Wales of U.S. Homeland Security.
"It's a boat that sits very low on the water, there are two very powerful motors on the back of it, it's filled with fuel and marijuana," says Commander Aaron Nix of the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office.
"They're willing to go to just about any means, and that can lead to violence," says Wales.
In the last few years, Homeland Security and customs agents have seen a massive spike in drug smuggling on the Pacific Ocean.
"We've had about a four-fold increase in the seizure amounts from last year to this year."
Homeland Security says more than one hundred thousand pounds of marijuana have already been seized this year. The street value: $500 million.
Agents say the pangas usually take off from northern Baja, Mexico with multi-person crews. Most of the landings are on beaches along San Diego and Los Angeles counties.
"I kind of liken it to a balloon affect, as the pressure is applied else where they will move to avoid that pressure," says Wales.
Law enforcement pressure is now squeezing the drug trade north to the Central Coast.
"They're going to try and make landfall on a beach, and put their load on the beach where they have a waiting off load crew," says Wales.
With their low profiles, the pangas are hard to spot in open water. But as investigators find more boats on the beaches and make more arrests, they are learning how these types of operations work and are fighting back.
"Because of some of the successes we've had in interdicting these smuggling operations, they have been changing their tactics, and they have switched over to having pleasure boats rendezvous with these vessels and they will actually transfer loads at sea," says Wales.
"This is a billion dollar industry," says Wales, "and the people that operate these cartels live quite a lavish life style."
One of the main enforcers in the fight against smuggling is a ship called the Black Fin.
"She's a multi-mission maritime asset, so that means she does search and rescue, we do law enforcement and a variety of other tactical duties," says Lt. Tony Gregg.
Gregg says it's one of the most advanced boats in the Coast Guard.
"She's built for speed, she's also built for torque, so she's very capable at towing, she's very capable at topping out and chasing," says Gregg.
And she has to be. Panga boats are known to travel at speeds of over 40 miles per hour.
"Nobody wants to be caught," says Gregg. "And it's usually a high-speed chase, typically."
The Black Fin and her crew have a solid record against the boats. They've busted eight panga boats filled with marijuana and one with cocaine. For that they are awarded special commendations that are displayed on the side of the ship.
"The one there on the left is a cocaine bust, and then you can see the marijuana leaves there with a red X through them, each one of those represents a successful case that Black Fin has prosecuted," says Gregg.
Homeland Security and the Coast Guard co-ordinate the busts like military missions: air support uses advanced night vision cameras to spot smugglers under the cover of darkness.
Some battles are won, but the cartels might be winning the war, successfully landing at least one shipment a week on U.S. shores. That adds up to millions of dollars worth of drugs every month.
"As the coast guard gets a new weapon in this fight, a new tool or a new policy or new tactic to prosecute this mission, certainly the smugglers are adapting to that," says Gregg.
The Black Fin was actually the boat that boarded and detained the smugglers from Wednesday's bust, so it looks like they'll be adding one more commendation to the side of that boat.

Coast Guard and Customs and Border Control officers on Wednesday tracked and intercepted a panga boat that ran out of fuel in the waters just north of San Miguel Island. That's off the Santa Barbara County coast.
Officers say they detained three men who were onboard and confiscated 35 large bundles of marijuana. California Highway Patrol officers on the Central Coast were notified and stepped up shoreline patrols in the area.

San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Office says they now have 20 suspects in custody after a panga boat was found off the coast of San Simeon. Initially, deputies believed there were 21 people involved but after investigating realized one suspect was not associated with the incident.
Sheriff's deputies and agents with State Parks and the Department of Fish and Game responded to the beach Thursday at 6:30 am. A California Highway Patrol plane and helicopter were also seen circling the area.
Deputies have confirmed 43 bales of marijuana were found on the boat. That's more than 3,000 pounds of drugs with an estimated street value of $4.5 million.
A witness said people on the beach, near the boat, were carrying the parcels to a motor home.
A white truck and a black sedan were also spotted and believed to be connected to the motor home.
Multiple traffic stops were held resulting in two suspects being arrested in the sedan and 12 suspects from the motor home.
After an extensive search with deputies and K-9 units multiple suspects were found hiding nearby in the brush.
In total, 20 suspects were taken into custody in connection.
Since the panga boat was found in such a remote location the CHP assisted in airlifted the marijuana off the beach using its helicopter.
The suspects are detained in the San Luis Obispo County Jail and will be transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angles on Friday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Mexican drug smuggler has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for bringing a half-ton of marijuana to the United States in a panga boat found west of Malibu.
Los Angeles prosecutors say 29-year-old Pedro Lopez-Rocha will be deported to Mexico after serving the sentence imposed on Monday.
The Ventura County Star (http://bit.ly/Q4itJE ) says Customs and Border Protection agents arrested Lopez-Rocha and two other Mexican men on Jan. 15 after the panga landed along Pacific Coast Highway in the Deer Creek area of Ventura County.
They were unloading more than 45 bales of marijuana.
Investigators say Lopez sent a text message to someone in Los Angeles notifying him that the panga from Ensenada was coming ashore.
The two codefendants were sentenced earlier to a year in prison.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office says six people are facing drug charges after they were caught off-loading marijuana from a panga boat on the South Coast.
The joint ongoing investigation between the Santa Barbara Count Sheriff's Office Special Investigation Bureau Narcotics Unit, Special Enforcement Team SWAT, Ventura County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Bureau, California State Parks, and the California Highway Patrol culminated early Friday morning on El Capitan State Beach.
Detectives say Habel Herrera of Mexico, David Arredondo of Compton, Martin Guzman of Compton, Marco Rangel of Mexico, Mauricio Brito of Compton and Deiber Chavez of Los Angeles had around 1,400 pounds of marijuana with them.
The men were arrested for transportation and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and booked into Santa Barbara County Jail. Detectives say the drugs have a street value of $4.2 million.

Investigators worked a good portion of the day to remove fuel and marijuana from a panga boat discovered in San Luis Obispo County.
Fish and Game wardens discovered the 35-foot boat about two miles north of Piedras Blancas near San Simeon. The boat was loaded with 55-gallon drums of fuel and around 20 one-hundred-pound bales of marijuana, according to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department.
A CHP helicopter helped remove the fuel while sheriff's deputies used ATVs to move the drugs from the boat.
It's not clear how many people were on the boat when it was beached, but deputies did find footprints in the sand. The sheriff's department also does not know why the boat was beached, but a spokesperson says it could have something to do with the high winds. The boat is in a remote location and will take some engineering to remove, so deputies hope to pull the boat from the beach late Thursday or Friday morning.
The boat had two outboard motors, a sheriff's department spokesperson says. Authorities say panga boats are often used to transport drugs because they can maneuver quickly. They've turned up all along the California coast, but this is the first time in recent history a panga boat has been discovered in San Luis Obispo County, according to the sheriff's department.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office says a 30 foot long boat was found at six Wednesday morning on the shore south of Refugio Beach.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office says it will turn over a panga boat found near Montecito to the federal government.
The 30-foot, abandoned boat was spotted near Fernald Point Wednesday morning. The sheriff's office says no one was found during a search of the shoreline, but a number of life vests were found suggesting at least 20 people had been onboard the boat at one point.
Panga boats are commonly used by fisherman in developing countries, however, they have recently been connected to drug smuggling operations on the South Coast. At this point, it is not clear if the boat found on Wednesday was used in a drug smuggling operation.

A 30-foot panga boat was spotted Wednesday morning 200 yard off shore near Montecito, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.
The U.S. Coast Guard and Santa Barbara Harbor Patrol searched the area and shoreline but did not find any people. They did, however, track down several life vests on shore, suggesting about 20 people may have been on board. Panga boats are commonly used for smuggling narcotics from Mexico to the United States.

This pass weekend I had the opportunity to observe the 2012 Pokemon TCG National Championships at the Indianapolis Convention Center. I personally have no interest in the competitive Pokemon card game, but I love the video game and cartoon. The TCG National Championships are held every year in Indy where players from 3 different divisions compete for their place in the world championships held in Hawaii, scholarships, and booster packs from the current Pokemon TCG cards. To get was completely free so I figured this would be an opportunity to get a photo op with my favorite rodent Pokemon and finally collect the rest of the puzzles pieces I needed on my 3DS.
As you walk into the convention center you are greeted by these signs. It's not everyday that you get to hang out with thousands of like minded people.
Here is the convention floor. Where people are partnered up and compete against one another. The place had giant banners with Pokemon from Black and White all over the place. You can also see the inflatable legendary Pokemon Zekrom and Reshiram.
Despite being full of gaming nerds I didn't notice any odors. Way to fight the stereotypes Pokefans.
One of the great attractions was the giant inflatable Pikachu they has suspended from the ceiling. So Cute.
One of the reasons I wanted to check out the TCG National Championships was to get my hands on some cool Pokemon merchandise. I didn't know what to expect, but I wanted to walk away with an Ash Ketchum hat or something. To my disappointment they only had two vendors and most of their products were Pokemon cards and Pokemon plushies. I stuffed Pikachu would be awesome, but not for the prices they were charging. A baseball size plushy was $20. To rich for my blood.
One of the highlights was seeing this. The fact that a group of Moms are this supportive of their kids' hobby is so cool to me.
And here we have the inflatable starters from Pokemon Black and White. From the left is Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawatt. Kind of wish they would have put them in a bigger cage so I could get a picture without a strap going across the shot. Oh well.
Here is me and my friends. I'm on the far right with Tepig my starter from Pokemon White. I never noticed before but Tepig wears brown underwear.
Here is the red carpet where the Champions will stand and be presented their trophies. I love the design of Zekrom the pokemon on the right and that's why I bought Pokemon White instead of Black. Reshiram on the left has some kind of feather bra that has always been unsettling to me.
And here was the reason for coming. The big man himself, Pikachu. That is still me on the right: ) I had a great time at the TCG Championships despite not playing any games. It was a fun spectacle to see and I Street Passed with about 30 people for the 2 hours that I was there. After this experience I decided that I was going to go to Gen Con, which is also held in Indianapolis. So look forward to some coverage of that in August.
Also big news. I got a new job as the full time art teacher at Clarence Farrington Elementary School IPS #61 in Indianapolis. Pretty exciting stuff.

For his ambitious photographic project 'People of the 20th Century' Sander's approach was highly methodical and based on an almost sociological analysis of Germany at this time. He divided his portraits into seven main groups: The Farmer, The Skilled Tradesman, The Woman, Classes and Professions, The Artists, The City and The Last People. This photograph is from Group Two, Portfolio Eight – 'The Master Craftsman'. It shows a pastry cook standing proudly in a commercial kitchen. It is beautifully composed with a rhythm of curves mirrored from the chef's bald head, through his large belly and into the bowl in his hands. There is a sense of authenticity and comfort to the image - this looks like a chef who knows what he is doing.

But for sure air sealing is important everywhere, and this looks like a disaster.
Where is this place? (This duct routing approach wouldn't have been allowed a building permit or passed an inspection in any place I've ever lived/worked.) Got a zip code?
But independent of climate zone, blowing it full of dense-packed celllulose and cutting in a floor return grill seems like the right solution. Using the great outdoors as your return plenum never works in your favor. Have an insulation contractor assess the rest of it too, for both insulation and air-tighness.

When Becky Wilson goes off to work as a medical laboratory technician, her specialty is blood.
Her domain is a laboratory at Regional Medical Center. It's a large, clean room filled with tables and storage areas and the aforementioned instruments; there, the job of Wilson and her colleagues is to make sure blood that comes from the Red Cross in Birmingham is safe for the patients in Anniston who need it.
That requires the blood to be identified not only by the common markers everyone knows — A, B, AB, O — but by a host of other characteristics. These characteristics, if they're introduced into the bloodstream of a person who's not genetically able to handle them, can kill that person.
The blood arrives already separated into three components: plasma (the liquid part), platelets (the part that aids clotting) and the red cells themselves.
Different characteristics of these components determine how long, and under what conditions, they can be stored.
Blood components arrive in one of two different ways, depending upon the day of the week. Three days a week a Red Cross courier comes around; the rest of the time shipments come by Greyhound to the bus station and are taken in a taxi to the hospital, Wilson said.
The laboratory where Wilson works is staffed 24 hours a day to receive and test blood. That's because police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel aren't the only people who have to respond to scenes of suffering — someone has to ensure the blood that another person might be losing is replaced safely.
"Every day is different," said Wilson. "It depends on what goes on in the ER."
Not only do external emergencies require the blood lab to get busy, but there's also the internal scheduling of the hospital's operating rooms.
There might be 20 heart catheterization patients in a day, each of whom might need blood as a result of the process, she said.
Wilson, 42, is qualified to do her job by virtue of a year and a half of practical schooling plus six months of workplace training to get an associate's degree. She's been in the profession 21 years and is in her fifth year at RMC.
Hers is demanding work, in that it requires strict adherence to protocols for labeling blood to make sure the information on a label describes the blood in the container, e.g., a bag.
The red blood cells that arrive from the Red Cross are always retyped to make sure they've been labeled correctly.
"You have to be able to multi-task over here," she said.
And while she never actually sees the patient to whom "her" blood is delivered, Wilson feels her work is personal nonetheless.
"We try to think of everybody as one of our family members," she said. "It's nice knowing that I can leave out of here (at the end of the day) knowing I helped somebody out."

Even with a soaker, you can install either a shower curtain or glass doors. A floor drain could be used if you wanted to make the whole room a wet room, but it needs to also have a trap primer to keep it full, otherwise it will start to smell.
A soaker would need to either come with (preferable) or an add-on tiling flange to keep the shower water out of the walls.
You can use a conventional shower valve or you could use a handheld. With the handheld, you could use a wall-mounted bar to hold it. As opposed to a fixed shower head, the handheld can make cleaning the tub easier, too.

With the rain starting Friday evening and remaining long enough Saturday to leave campers mud-soaked and chilled, the former type clearly had it worse than the latter.
Perched underneath a makeshift blue tarp canopy held up with bamboo poles, Andrew Slone and his friends stood, hands in pockets, waiting to learn the fate of the day's racing.
The group had driven down from Tullahoma, Tenn., on Thursday, and said they planned to stay as long as it took, holding out hope the rain would subside long enough for the cars to run in the day's qualifying race.
Their tents sat close by, soaked and useless, as the men talked about how they'd get through until Sunday.
"I believe tonight we're going to snuggle up in the Subaru," said Slone.
Slone's friend Joshua Pack has been coming to Talladega since 1988, when his father perched the five-year-old on his lap to watch his first race.
Pack, 30, watched the weather for a week before pointing his car towards Talladega. He said he knew he'd likely get wet, but true race fans endure.
"I promise. We're not going anywhere," Pack said, explain that they'd managed through Friday night all right, though more than a little wet, but the canopy suffered terribly. Its bamboo poles had to be repaired Saturday morning with some duct tape and a golf club used as a type of splint.
"All of our pillows and blankets are wet," Pack said, but they'd get through regardless.
Just down the path from their campsite a tent, submerged in half-a-foot of water, looked like an emergency life raft adrift in a tiny ocean. People huddled by campfires and labored to keep grills lit in the drizzling rain.
Pack broke down his group's allegiances.
"There are some Kyle Busch fans and Jeff Gordon fans, but this is Earnhardt's house so everybody needs to be respectful while they're here and stay out of that mud. Stop slinging it everywhere," Pack said.
The rain had slowed by mid-morning, and Slone predicted "it's gone from here until midnight," using weather updates gathered from "the old lady's smart phone."
But late Saturday afternoon, NASCAR officials cancelled the day's qualifying race for the Aaron's 499 Sprint Cup race. The latter race is still on for today at noon.
For the luckier of the two types, like Atlanta residents Jay Bryant and Robert Allen, the camping experience was altogether different.
Standing underneath the canopy of one of their two new-model RVs, Allen observed, "It's the weirdest weather over here. You're either burning up or it's raining."
While watching racing news on a flat screen nearby, Bryant estimated they'd manage to see at least a half of a race before the weekend was over.
Today, the track will likely see more rain, according to the National Weather Service in Calera.
"Our chances are around 70 to 80 percent," said Matt Anderson, meteorologist with the service, Saturday.
The showers are expected to be scattered throughout the day, Anderson said, but with much lower rainfall amounts than was seen Saturday.
"Just below a quarter of an inch or so, so that's much lower than what we had overnight last night," Anderson said. "... I don't think it's the type of rain that's going to come and set in all day."
Bryant said the rain Friday night was so bad it started an exodus. He talked about those who fled like they were wartime traitors.
"I've never seen people pulling out of the campground like we have today. People just leaving. You never see people leave," Bryant said, pointing to two empty camping spots across from theirs.
They'd be staying regardless, Bryant said, echoing Pack's statement that true race fans don't leave.
"You've got too much invested in coming over here. You might as well stay and wait it out. See what happens," Bryant said. "Even if you only get half the race in, you've got to try."

Mr Maugham At HomeThursday 8 May - 7.45pmThe WhitLit Festival present Anthony Smee delivering the performance of a lifetime in this hugely entertaining one-man drama of the life of William Somerset Maugham written by Anthony Curtis.
One of the Twentieth Century's best-selling authors, W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was born in Paris but spent his formative years in Whitstable, which became the 'Blackstable' of two of his most well known novels; Of Human Bondage and Cakes & Ale.
Playwright Anthony Curtis brings the panorama of Maugham's life to the stage with an extraordinary performance by Smee; the stricken child, the student in Heidelberg, the doctor in Lambeth's slums, the struggling writer in Paris, the stretcher-bearer on the battlefields of World War I and, incredibly, the international spy. Finally, after glittering success, the tragedy of a life ending in misery, paranoia and social opprobrium.
This highly acclaimed play has received rave reviews across the board from The Times and The Stage, and this one-off performance in Whitstable is not to be missed!

Up Pompeii by Miles TredinnickFriday 9 May - 7.45pmBased on the original characters devised by Talbot Rothwell and Sid Colin for the Frankie Howard BBC comedy, this hilarious romp through ancient Pompeii brings back all the television favourites in this full-length play.
As Lurcio attempts to deliver his prologue and begin proceedings, he's quickly caught up in the myriad of liasisons in all quarters of his master's house.
Why does Luricus not leave for the Senate meeting in Rome? Why does his wife return so quickly from the country? Who will take car of the escaped slave girl, Voluptua, and will Nausius' love poetry improve?
Whilst growing chaos ensues, and increasing rumbling is heard in the distance - what could that possibly be? A riot from start to finish!
Directed by Adam MorleyProduced by Claire Bibby

Originally purchasing surplus military coats after World War II,
Gloverall first produced what is known as today's Duffle Coat in
1954. Taking the Duffle Coat from its Wartime role as a utilitarian
uniform to a symbol of 1960's political activism, the iconic coats
are still manufactured in England using leather fastenings and
Buffalo horn toggles with a double faced check back fabric.
The Double Check Coat is inspired by a school-uniform, in
double-faced tartan cloth with hand-drawn printed graffiti tartan.

I have come to believe there is a big problem with western background values and Buddhism or Christianity for that matter. Specifically, I have come to believe that the single family home in the suburbs (the American dream) is an expression of an exaggerated individualism, materialism and a status pursuing Ego activity.
I think that a less individualistic arrangement such as an apartment complex or even better co-housing community creates many more opportunities for us to express our longing kindness than does a private single family dwelling in the suburbs. Choosing our living arrangements so as to favor our practice is like playing cards after you have stacked the deck in your favor; and I am all for cheating. When I meditate I position my body to be alert; neither in pain nor close to falling asleep. I stack the deck in my favor. Why wouldn't I stack the deck in my life style choice of housing-type?
What does everyone think of single family homes from a Buddhist perspective? I do not mean to suggest that the suburbs are evil, just a mistake: at least for us.

I think It's the Porsche , Which you are talking about :D
(Sorry It's quality is bad ) :D
No, It's not that! The wheels are very bigger than Maria's Porsche which she won! And also the raer lights are different!
Maybe that's Maria's another car! It's not that Porsche!
The big difference is in the wheels and rear lights! We need other members' ideas to know! But I think it's not the Porsche that Maria won!
Or maybe Maria has changed the wheels! I don't know! Othe members can help us!
If we could see the headlights of the car, it would be clear for us to understand!
The Porsche is never won in advance. You have to play several matches. It is not easy.
Dartagnan: This tournament is not easy at all. Each tennis player wants to win it. Maria has to play 3 sets to win each matches.
Even if Maria Sharapova is the favorite, she has to be very concentrated to win this tournament. Many mistakes can be fatal for her.
Davai Masha !!!
Dartagnan: We have to congratulate Maria for reaching the final. The final won't be easy as both finalists want to win but the more courageous will win it. Of course we hope that Maria will be the best player of this final. Moscow is waiting Maria Sharapova!!!!
MOSCOW, April 27 (R-Sport) - Reigning champion and top seed Maria Sharapova reached the final of the Stuttgart Premier tennis tournament on Saturday after defeating local favorite Angelique Kerber in a hard fought semifinal.
The Russian world No. 2 emerged the winner by a score of 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 against sixth-ranked German Kerber in a see-saw encounter.
Sharapova, a former Wimbledon champion, has been pushed to three sets in all three of her matches so far at the clay-court tournament, following earlier close calls against Ana Ivanovic and Lucie Safarova.
The Russian will play either Chinese second seed Li Na or unseeded American Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the final.
The Stuttgart tournament, known as the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix for commercial reasons, has a prize fund of $800,000.
Dartagnan: Maria Sharapova is the best tennis player of the planet. She showed us that she is the most courageous. She is the one who plays more tournaments than other tennis players but she is always fresh for the final.
MOSCOW, April 28 (R-Sport) - Maria Sharapova successfully defended her Stuttgart Premier title Sunday, beating Li Na in straight sets in the final.
Top seed Sharapova emerged the winner by a score of 6-4, 6-3 on the Stuttgart clay against second seed Li, who the Russian has now defeated in nine of their 14 meetings.
"She was the second seed and someone who I had lost to the last time we played, and obviously she was fresher than me going into the final, so I knew it would be the toughest match of the tournament," Sharapova said on the WTA website.
"I really tried to do the right things from the beginning to the end and not have a letdown like I did in the other matches - there were some struggles in those, but I kept giving myself chances to go to the next round, and I think I played my best tennis of the week today."
Li said: "You never know what will happen when we play, it's always 50-50, but today she was the better one."
The match puts Sharapova within reach of two career milestones - her next WTA final will be her 50th, and her next Tour title the 30th of her career.

Alexander Wang
OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Alexander Wang
2008 September 7
Alexander Wang - New York Spring 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Alexander Wang left a composition notebook on the seat of every invited guest; perhaps he hoped they would take notes on his solidified arrival on a scene. Few opened their school supplies treat, mostly because the lesson was clear: Wang has become a successful ready-to-wear translator of the downtown archetype. "My girl hardly every changes," assured the designer. And for his many admirers, that's a good thing. Models paraded down the elaborately lit runway to the hypnotic beats of Missy Elliot and Jay-Z, while the rain-soaked audience seemed to dry up and warm up by the second with the sight of Wang's signature separates, strategically-fitted Beatrice winners, minis, and pastel jackets. Former show stylist Erin Wasson was, in fact, the pioneer in a standing ovation movement following the show - perhaps because she still wanted to wear everything her best friend has served up. She certainly won't be the only one at the admiration station.

It is the policy of Old Dominion University to restrict solicitation by employees, vendors, sales representatives, and others to minimize interference with the University's operation and to protect the privacy of its faculty, staff, students and visitors.
Solicitation shall be defined as:
- Selling or promoting of products, goods, or services;
- Use of staff and faculty listings for the purpose of solicitation;
- Seeking contributions or pledges, and
- Conducting membership drives for non-university affiliated organizations.
Other appropriate university solicitation policies exist; however, this policy will serve to summarize information that affects the entire university community. For guidelines affecting student solicitation issues, the Vice President for Student Affairs maintains policies regarding the Webb Center, residence halls, and non-academic use of space.
Sales representatives or vendors dealing in university supplies, equipment, or services may conduct business in accordance with university regulations. One example of an approved activity is periodic benefits/retirement fairs designed to inform faculty and staff of available benefits programs.
Fund raising or sales activities (such as the University's Dominion Fund Campus Community Campaign, the State Employee's Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign, or blood drives) sponsored by the University are considered authorized activities when approved by the President and, therefore, are not prohibited by this policy.
The University does not provide space for companies to solicit nor does it allow information to be placed on university bulletin boards without prior approval or invitation from appropriate administrative officials. The distribution of flyers placed on vehicle windshields is also prohibited.
The University does not allow non-university business meetings with product representatives on university property during an employee's normal working hours.
In accordance with the Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act andUniversity Policy 4100, "Student Record Policy," the University does not provide employee or student information (i.e., names, addresses, telephone numbers) to companies for solicitation purposes.
Persons observed soliciting on university property should be reported to department heads or managers who will then be responsible for determining whether such persons are authorized under paragraph four and five above. If not authorized, the administrator shall inform such persons of this policy and advise them that failure to cease may result in appropriate action against the offender. If the offender is an employee, such action may include discipline in accordance with appropriate university policies.
